Ridiculous. I guess nobody has the time to verify that these containers have in them what they say they do? Or do the shipping companies know it’s a vehicle but don’t bother checking VINs or anything? Maybe it needs to be the liability of the railways and shipping companies that what they’re transporting is legal, otherwise they have the incentive to keep plausible deniability and get paid.

Correct. Port of Montréal handles about 125,000 TEU per month, or over 4,000 TEU per day, with truck transfer times of 40 minutes.
And that’s just containers, not to mention wet and dry bulk.
Imagine smugglers dropping stolen cars into grain cargo holds like those cereal box toys
